Why does it feel like the weight just won’t budge in perimenopause and menopause?
While lifestyle strategies like nutrition, strength training, sleep, and stress reduction remain essential, what role can medications play — and are they truly safe and effective options for women in perimenopause and menopause?
Dr. Ritch welcomes back Dr. Megan Melo, a board-certified family medicine and obesity medicine specialist. Dr. Melo shares her expertise on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy, the nuances of microdosing, the role of metformin, and how to approach weight management safely with the guidance of a knowledgeable clinician.
Tune in to learn the facts, separate hype from reality, and discover what might be right for you.
